TL;DR: In this paper, a tensor manifold M of class C°° is defined as an f-structure of rank r at each point of M and M with an /-manifold.
Abstract: In an w-dimensional differentiate manifold M of class C°°, a tensor field / of type (1,1), which satisfies /-t-/=0 and is of constant rank r at each point of M, is called an f-structure of rank r and M with an /-structure an f-manifold ([9], [10]). The tensor fields —/ and / + l, 1 being the unit tensor field, are complementary projection operators which define two complementary distributions in M corresponding to the projection operators —f and / + l respectively. The distribution corresponding to —f is r-dimensional and that corresponding to /+l (m—r)-dimensional. The /-manifolds have been studied by Ishihara and the present author [3], [11]. If there exist m — r vector fields Ua ( 2, •••, m — r) spanning the distribution corresponding to /+l and m—r 1-forms u satisfying

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied submanifolds of a space form which are umbilical with respect to a non-parallel normal subbundle and showed that the covariant derivative of every unit normal direction has no component in the complementary normal sub-bundle orthogonal to the normal direction.
Abstract: Let Vn be an n-dimensional submanifold of an ra-dimensional Riemannian manifold Vm and C be a unit normal vector field of Vn in F m If the second fundamental tensor in the normal direction C is proportional to the first fundamental tensor of the submanifold Fw, then Vn is said to be umbilical with respect to the normal direction C Let N be a subbundle of the normal bundle of Vn in VmIf the submanifold Vn is umbilical with respect to every normal direction in N, then Vn is said to be umbilical with respect to N If the covariant derivative of every unit normal direction in N has no component in the complementary normal subbundle N orthogonal to N, then the subbundle N is said to be parallel If there exists, in N, a unit normal direction C such that the covariant derivative of C has nonzero component in the subbundle N everywhere, the subbundle is said to be non-parallel In this paper, we shall study submanifolds of a space form which are umbilical with respect to a non-parallel normal subbundle





Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend Shea's theorem to n-valued algebroid functions of finite lower order and show that the conjecture can be proved for any λ > l/2.
Abstract: This conjecture was proved by Valiron [7] for λ
